Previous Night
"D'you have any idea where we are?" Sawyer groaned, rubbing his head and sitting himself at the back of the small boat.
Alex nodded. "I've been on the boats a great many times."
The sky had darkened around the four and Kate nervously stared into the distance.
"We can't even see where we are going...how can we find the island?"
"I know how to work a compass." Alex smiled.
"Even if its broken?" Jack asked, noticing the compass in front of Alex as she steered.
"What?" Alex asked.
"Turn the boat around." Jack said.
Alex watched the compass as she did, and the needle made no movement.
"All this time I thought I was going south and I wasn't." She sighed.
"Yeah, thanks for pointing that out now, Jackass." Sawyer groaned. "If you haven;t noticed, its dark now and we're in the middle of the ocean with a bunch of assholes with an advantage."
"I just noticed myself." Jack shrugged.
"Its alright." Kate assured Alex, who seemed rather upset.
Alex sighed.
"Thank You." Kate smiled. Alex gave a small smile back.
"Well, Alex turned the boat around and just continued straight on, right?" Kate asked.
Alex nodded.
"Then, keep going straight, we're bound to hit the island somehow, yeah?"
Jack and Sawyer shrugged.
"Well, if you boys would rather sit out here all night then fine, get off the boat."
"Oooo, Captain Kate. I like that." Sawyer smirked. "This is a bit like Gilligan's Island, ya reckon'? Seems like we've been on a three hour tour gone astray."
"If you call me Mary Anne I'll slap you." Kate rolled her eyes and took control of the wheel. "You know I did always wonder...who packs clothes on a three hour tour?"
Jack shook his head and laughed at their ability to make the worst situation a little brighter. Alex just seemed confused.
"One-a life's mysteries there, Freckles. Now let me man the boat."
"So we end up in some rocks?" Kate scoffed."I've got this, now go sit down."
Sawyer folded his arms across his chest, sat down and sighed, as he rather off key began to sing, "Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale..."
-----------------------------
"My name is Kellie Kohler." Kellie said, she didn't like the look in the tanned man's eyes. "I'm from Sydney, Australia, but I'm American born."
"And how did you end up here, Kellie?" Sayid asked.
"My...my parents had this fantastic idea to take our Yacht on a trip, we were going to the Philippines, and he wanted to try and make it to Hawaii, why? I don't know, he thought the four of us being on a yacht for weeks would be fantastic. Let me tell you...it wasn't."
"He doesn't need an autobiography." Charlie stated.
"He doesn't need you to speak up for him either." Kellie shot back. "ANYWAYS." Kellie, queen of eye rolling growled, with yet another roll of her eyes. "We were out in the middle of nowhere, when Dad got some weird signal. He was acting kind of strange and then he said to get the raft ready. What he failed to tell us was that route he had chosen for us had pirate issues."
"Pirates?" Charlie laughed.
"Yes, PIRATES. People who PIRATE your very expensive stuff, dingbat. Not your jolly roger bad teeth freaky guys."
"Go on." Sayid urged.
"Well, Mom was freaking out, she was worried about all the expensive stuff on the boat, and then you know after her concern over her stuff she was concerned for our safety. So she told us to get on the raft until these people came by. I guess they were threatening Dad on his radio thingie and so he agreed with Mom and said they'd circle and come back around for us. And Aly at first said hell no because what is they saw us and grabbed us and the raft, and I could see her point but Dad said we were less likely to be seen in the raft then a Yacht with a ton of lights. Why did we agree, I don't know. Mom starts loading everything she can into the raft and Aly and I reluctantly grab our bags and dog and climb in, we paddle for a while until Aly got lazy...So we laid down and then we heard gunshots, but the yacht was too far in the distance to make anything out except that there was another boat and then both the boat and the yacht sped off..." Kellie's eyes lowered along with her voice as she attempted to finish her sentence.
Charlie watched Sayid's eyes soften and scoffed. "You believe that?"
"She's not lying." Sayid stated.
"That was bloody horrible, completely lacking any fantastic story or details...I mean, come on then!"
"Like yours is any better dirty plane crash guy." Kellie growled.
"Do you have any idea how long you were in the water?"
Kellie shook her head. "No. Seemed like forever though...Long enough to get very badly sunburned." Kelly winced as she touched her bright red shoulder. "Well, wait...it was night when we got on the raft, and we were in there until it was night again...and that's all I remember."
"It was morning when we found them." Charlie said.
Sayid nodded. "Thank you, Kellie."
He then turned to look at the pile of things that were on the raft with the girls. "Untie her." He said, pointing to Aly.
"Are you bloody serious?" Charlie asked. "She's lethal."
Aly kicked sand at Charlie, and chuckled. Charlie sighed as Sayid gave him a look and did what he was told.
Aly shook her head, letting her hair frame her face and she was freed.
"Freaks." She mumbled.
Sayid stared back at the pile as Aly walked over.
"Your parents placed you on a raft with no necessities, just frivolous expensive things?" Sayid asked, grabbing a Louis Vuitton purse and then tossing it back into the sand in frustration.
Aly was clearly angered and grabbed a light blue shoe from the pile, hitting Sayid clean in the jaw.
"ALY!" Kellie screamed. "Don't get blood on my Manolos!"
Claire couldn't believe how petty these girls were, it was shocking and she hoped both of them would soon learn otherwise.
Sayid's lower cheek began to bleed where the heel had hit, angry he kicked Aly's legs out from under her, knocking her to the floor with a gasp. he pinned her shoulders down into the sand
Kellie gasped.
"You have some nerve." Sayid growled.
Aly struggled for a minute then her eyes lowered, as she muttered, "Pervert."
"Its my gun." Sayid growled. Aly's eyes met his and for a moment she was atken aback by how deep and beautiful his eyes were, she looked away and sulked. "I will let you go if you can behave."
By now the blood from his jaw would was pouring out, some of it even dripping onto Aly, who cringed.
"I'll behave." She sighed.
Sayid got off the girl and touched his face, Claire coming over with a wet rag.
Kellie walked over and sat next to her sister saying, "Yes, great idea Aly, go single white female on a man you've just met."

"I'm freezin' my ass off." Sawyer said with a shiver. "I think you're leadin us into the artic Captain Kate."
"Well, then, more Polar Bears for you to go apeshit on." Kate laughed.
"Alex?" Jack asked. He was watching the flame die out in the small lantern on the boat and added more oil.
"Yes?" She sleepily replied.
"Do you know what happened earlier today, the noise and the sky?"
Alex shook her head. "I have ideas but, I don't know for sure."
Jack gave a gentle nod.
"Why'd you ditch the goon squad?" Sawyer asked.
"I never belonged with them in the first place." She sighed.
"You took a big risk doing all this." Jack smiled gently.
"I had to." Alex said, he eyes shifted over to Kate and then back to Jack. "Will I get to see Claire?" She asked.
Jack smiled. "Given we can find our way back, yes, you will see Claire."
Alex nodded then gave a yawn.
"Why don't you get some sleep?" Jack said, eyeing Sawyer to make some room for the girl.
"No...I'm fine. Just cold...and still wet." Alex replied.
"Suit yourself then, Shortcake." Sawyer smirked, taking up halfd the boat to lay down.
"Wake me up when we reach Mexico." He stated before rolling onto his side.
------------------------------------------
Kellie and Aly sat alone next to a fire, waiting for the water to boil so they could make the box of Macaroni and Cheese Claire had given them.
"You know, if they really want us to play nicely they COULD include us." Aly said, motioning to Hurley, Charlie and Sawyer, huddled together and talking.
"Shut up, I'm eavesdropping." Kellie replied. "They yell a lot when they say Michael, so avoid Michael."
"Oh that's lovely, Kell, who the fuck is Michael?"
Kellie shrugged, "Oh and apparently John is an idiot."
"I don't know anyone's names, this doesn't help me at all."
"Charlie's the accent guy with the big ears, Claire's the one with the baby and the guy with the nice skin that you whacked in the head is Sayid."
"You're getting to know them?" Aly scoffed.
"Might as well." Kellie shrugged.
"Don't get too friendly, we're getting the hell out of here." Aly firmly stated.
"Oh really, on your magic carpet?"
Aly rolled her eyes. "You know, they tie us up, demand we tell them our lifestories and we know nothing about them. We stick together Kellie, alright? Don't tell them anything else until we know more about them."
"Fine." Kellie agreed.
"Tomorrow we're hijacking the boat." Aly smiled.
